Love Is Healing
Love is Healing Fund is G4GC’s primary grantmaking fund, established in April 2020 to move resources to girls, femmes, and gender-expansive youth affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, which further exacerbated race-based and genderbased disparities. Love is Healing Fund is our most diverse fund and supports girls and gender expansive youth who identify as Black, Indigenous, Latina/e, Asian, Arab, Pacific Islander, and/or other people of Color.
Funding priorities
Through the Love is Healing COVID-19 Response Fund, Grantmakers for Girls of Color is invested $1 million to address the following priorities focused on the needs of girls and gender expansive youth of color:
- COVID-19-related advocacy and immediate mapping needs
- Economic and educational response strategies
- Interventions to support systems impacted youth or survivors of gender-based violence
- Preventative or responsive mental, physical and emotional health strategies.
Highlights
- Since 2020, Love Is Healing has awarded $11,194,250 to 164 organizations across the country, with over 50% of that amount going to grant renewals. In the first half of 2023, Love is Healing Fund awarded $2,132,250.
- In June 2022, G4GC coordinated a youth retreat in New York City with our inaugural Youth Advisory Committee and Design Team, as well as members of the Black Girl Freedom Fund Youth Grantmaking Council. We brought together 13 girls, femmes, and gender-expansive youth to help guide us on choosing many of our Love is Healing Fund grantee partners.
